Energy Security of Nigeria

Abstract:

In Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria possesses one of the largest reserves of natural resources (oil, natural gas) and is one of the biggest continental exporters. Federal government thus perceives energy to play a key role in fostering economic development. At the same time, exploitation of natural resources causes massive environmental degradation and threatens local livelihoods. Moreover, Furthermore, the amount of national income from exporting natural resources is dependent on external factors such as the price on global markets, global climate protection policies or the concept of decarbonisation, promoted by the European Union in the recent. As a result, energy issues can be considered both positive and negative and they can be associated with different meanings. Through an analysis of media outputs, this thesis uncovers forms and contexts of energy and energy security within public discourse, and what themes dominate it.
